Get Your Military On

Dom Rebel sterling silver jewelery and refurbished vintage combat boots at the Punk & Doll Gallery. Look for more customized boot styles available soon from our Atelier division. In the meantime, Dior Homme, Tod's, Dirk Bikkembergs, Kris Van Asche, Benetton and Diesel are all offering great military boot styles for Spring.

Armani 5th Avenue

We just came back from a quick trip to NYC, and took a few minutes to take in the beautiful display in the windows of Armani's revolutionary 5th Avenue store. The store was opened last year, and the design is, simply put, breathtaking, with a spiralling white staircase in the back of the store that really can't be described in words.

On display in the windows are the extreme creations that Giorgio Armani created himself for various celebrities and red-carpet events over the span of his career, from Beyonce to Halle Berri and Lady Gaga (seen below, complete with headpiece!). The dresses are staying there for a limited time, and are definitely worth checking out.

Kid Cudi - Cudderisback

Awesome song and even better video.

Best Intro Song Ever.

We've really fallen in love with this show. Produced by Mark Wahlberg, the best way to describe "How To Make It In America" is that it's the East Coast version of Entourage, except instead of having tons of cash to blow on the LA scene, the stories are about city boys in their mid-twenties trying to make a buck in a harsh landscape. The show could not have debuted at a better time, amidst a destructive recession, and it is both inspiring and motivating. It brings that hustle back to our daily approach of things.

The great thing is that, like Entourage, the actors play fictional characters but interact with the real New York City environment. They go to restaurants, clubs, and shops that exist, and deal with the real owners of those places in the show. So if you're familiar with NYC, you'll be instantly hooked. From selling bootleg leathers on a corner in Soho, to visiting The Jean Shop, and heading out to Avenue in Chelsea, everything feels authentic, as well as the pace of all the characters (everyone is NYC-quick in their speech and lifestyle, compared to the laid-back LA vibe).

And the music! Damn, son. That is the best intro song ever for a TV show or even a movie. And the selection of music that plays throughout each episode is bang-on. Killer stuff.

Nice to see Kid Cudi playing a role, he's one of our favorite artists right now, so it was icing on the cake to see that he's a main character in the show. And LUIZ GUZMAN!! Was he fucking born to play this role or what?? Hilarious. I guess you could say he's the Ari Gold of this show. But enough with the comparisons, even though they're inevitable.

Now get me a RASTA MONSTA!

Boots

One of the biggest trends for men this Spring (and certainly for the upcoming Fall 2010 collections) is boots. From utilitarian-style hunting and working boots, to military combat boots and all sorts of hybrids in between, almost anything goes.

The boot adds a serious dose of masculinity to any look. I've been sporting Timberland Boot Company's high-rise styles for over a year now, and haven't looked back. Don has recently been lured by Bess's embellished vintage combat boots.

Here are a selection of styles that we really like.

LL Bean Waxed Canvas Hunting Boot
It's been around forever, and has recently been featured in GQ as a necessary addition to your footwear collection. On top of that, it's reasonably priced, and has a classic look that you can pull off for many seasons ahead. It's the ultimate cold weather boot for areas like here in Montreal, Toronto or New York, which can be carried on in Spring for our messy streets.



Rag & Bone x Timberland Boot Company
Timberland Boot Company has been re-creating classics in true vintage fashion for a few seasons since it was introduced as the artisanal division of Timberland. Now, one of our favorite brands, Rag & Bone, has teamed up with the maker to make a collection for Fall that has us really excited. With a killer high boot (seen below in Brown) and a mid-rise boat shoe, these styles work especially well with dark denim, rolled at the cuff, with year-round wearability.




Neil Barrett x Palladium
Of course, then there is the plethora of combat boots already on the market, and their improved versions for Fall. Our personal favorite is a collaboration between bootmaker Palladium and one of our favorite designers, Neil Barrett, available this Fall.

TRON

Entire score by Daft Punk. Unreal effects and art direction. One of the best vintage games ever. Enough said.

Behind The Scenes: Dom Rebel Spring 2010 Photoshoot

Los Angeles Day 3

Up to now, the best Cuban sandwich could be found at Cafe Habana, a hole in the wall in Nolita (and those corn on the cobs are a MUST if you are ever in NYC, worth the trek). It's still our favorite lunch joint in NYC, but now that we've had this Cuban on brown ciabatta at Market downstairs of the Cooper Building in downtown LA, I think our quest for the world's best sandwich has made a pit stop, at least for now.

Los Angeles Day 2

The cold weather in LA just hurt even more after watching Team USA beat us at hockey. We'd been looking forward to this game since the day it was announced. Ouch...good thing they have medical herb clinics on every corner here.

RIP Alexander McQueen

We are deeply saddened by the news that one of our greatest inspirations, Alexander McQueen, has passed away at the age of 40. His work has played an integral role in our perspective of fashion and culture, and it will continue to move us for years to come.
